Chandler has exceptional skills all round. His foot passing sublime.

    He is soooo cuddly. I just saw the president give him a big smooch at the end of the team song.

    Disgusting 😁

    I agree, as a general rule club presidents shouldn’t kiss their coaches for many reasons

    I know that was little more than a good training run but one very positive point that did emerge is that in keeping Chandler and letting Bedford move on the Melbourne brains trust got it absolutely right. His accurate goal-kicking, constant pressure and excellent ball use stood out all night. And it was great to see Steven May showing his annoyance when North kicked some late goals. That's the kind of ruthless attitude that wins premierships.

    Concerned that despite the big win our 2 tall fwds only get 2 goals between them and didn’t do a whole lot else. We really need Brown or Tmac in form and back as they would add so much more 

    I hear you. The Shack had a BArry Crocker for much of the game. And van Roo, well he was well held but we could use him a bit more.

    I did say before the game i would take a 10 goal win, just really annoyed we gave up 3 junk goals to lose our 109 point lead.

    Credit to Tom Sparrow who has copped some heat on here so far this season. I reckon he played a career best game tonight.

    23 touches as 87% with 4 tackles and a goal.

    And will get the same result with BBB.

    I’m sorry but BB has a hell of a lot more runs on the board and was in good form in the first three rounds. 
    Schache is too timid to play key position at this level. He got out marked by Zeibel multiple times despite the massive height difference.

    Off a 5 day break I think we did very well to even show up in the last. 
    Hibbo was also off in the last.

    Just what the Dr ordered, pity Schache and JVR had quiet games.

    And yet we managed 22 goals.

    Easily the most disappointing aspect of the night was the crowd, which I correctly predicted at quarter time (I'm brilliant) would be 29k.

    We need to be getting 30k ourselves, let alone the third lowest drawing crowd in North also bringing say 5k.

    Almost perfect Saturday night, at the G, 35k-40k should be the benchmark.

    So what do I know, I said 5 goals we don't win by big margins. Nice to watch though.

    Excellent win

    Definite percentage booster 

    but … only the Dees would allow 3 soft goals in the last 3 minutes to reduce margin from 108 to 90 points!!! 

    5 day break guys.  Cool it.

    Seriously, the pillock behind me was screaming when we were kicking it backwards. We got plenty of time to beat up on garbage sides later this season and maybe get a 100 point win then and if not I'll take a few 90s.

    Job done, no injuries (that I know of). Jets cooled.

    Our forward line mix is tallied about but spread of goalkicker and looking at our mix.

    How we go inside 50 is important and happy with how that looks. 


    Defensive side of the game we thought we needed to tidy up. 


    How we defend has been a ficus. How we create turnovers. 
    Though we’d like the last few minutes back. 


    Petty likely straight back in. He’s a key player. At either end.

    Schache isn’t the answer. Petty back in or BB depending on form at Casey (with Petty to go back) 

    Yep. Did some nice things but didn't grab the opportunity.

    That start was scintillating. 

    When Kozzie is up and going we become such a dangerous team. Banging goals from outside 50 is such a confidence booster.

    Clarry dominated in that first quarter. Led the way.

    Tracc: 30 and three.

    Fritta is all class.

    Maysie back in form.

    Chandler played the perfect small forwards game.

    Sparrow was very good.

    Angus best game for the year.

    Less impressed with Shack Attack and van Roo.

    Also I wonder about the effectiveness of Hunter's dribble handballs! Had a good game though.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
